The Marx quote is one of my favorites. I've been feeling bad that, while I don't think I'm actually reading less, or at least not much less, I've been reading far fewer books in the last year. Yet, I don't really want to make it a chore. You have some great, fun books on your list. Good for you, and happy new year!!!

Happy New Year to you, as well. I know what you mean about doing lots of reading that doesn't show up on a list, what with papers and magazines and the interbunny, et al. I read comics that if they were in collected form would count as books, but read month by month don't. Plus there are non-fiction books, like The Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract, where I'll just read a couple of chapters at a time, so I don't count them because I didn't read it cover to cover this time around.
